Well given how good previous Bass Communion albums are I'm sure it will be excellent. What frightens me though is the amount of money I've spent this month on various Steven Wilson releases.

lol me too, I had previously ordered Bass Communion II (the reissue on 2 LP's) and I just recently ordered We Lost the Skyline. I don't know what it is that makes me keep coming back to Steve Wilson, but I like it!]]>

I was thinking about making a thread for this...I'm glad you did though!

It sounds like it'll be a very good album, for those of us who love the genre. I plan on ordering it as soon as I get some money. I just recently ordered the 2LP set for Bass Communion II, and I already own Loss. ]]>

Getting that.

As for the 2 disc re-edition, it's already a habit for BC to rewind their main albums into different versions, editions, releases.]]>

To fit withthe oceanic theme, Carl Glover has designed an elaborate box setpackage which includes both stereo CD + 5.1 surround sound DVD-Audiodiscs housed in a thick card gatefold sleeve, a 36-page perfect-boundfull-colour booklet, and a 2-sided thick card hand-numbered insert (975copies), all housed in a super-thick case-bound card box (slipcasestyle).

US customers are encouraged to order / reserve their copies directly with the US label Equation Records.

To tie in with the release of ''Pacific Codex'', there is also arepress of the 2 disc edition of Bass Communion's "Ghosts on MagneticTape", which includes the original album and the full length AndrewLiles reconstruction in a miniature thick card gatefold sleeve. Thiswill ship at the same time as Pacific Codex, and you can pre-order bothreleases together from Headphone Dust to save on postage costs.]]>
